Listen, of the 1,025 Pokémon that exist I will always find a way to defend 1,024 of them
However, there is one, exactly one Pokémon that I hate with every fiber of my being. Remembering that it exists fills me with rage. Seeing it instills disgust. His very existence has caused me to avoid passing through certain routes if I can help it, just so I don't have to see it. I don't hate much, but I despise this stupid Pokémon
I hate him to his very core
I hate how humanoid he is. I hate how his horns look like hair. I hate that he wears shoes, as ugly as they are. I hate the stupid pink dots on his fingers. I hate that his name gives him a title, Mr. Mime. I hate his Detective Pikachu appearance that must have been created by a monster wishing to give children nightmares. I hate his shiny that stands as the singular proof that lime green is too widely used, controllable or not. I hate his Galarian form that somehow makes him even more off putting, I hate that he was given one instead of a better Pokémon. Most of all, I hate that he comes from something so cute
Do you want to know the only time I have released a Pokémon, dear reader? It was when I had caught Mime Jr. at 8 years old, so excited that it would evolve into something pretty or cool. I would add it to my team, and it would battle alongside me to victory. Alas, level 19 came, and to my younger self's utter horror I watched as my adorable clown became a creature that never should have been created. How could Arceus allow such a creature to exist in its creation, to thrive while crushing the hopes of children? This child who knew not how the game properly worked immediately released the abomination, leaving behind a Pokémon she once held hope in but now couldn't recognize
11 years have passed since I taught that Mime what trauma is, and to this day I despise what my child became

I post primarily about Baldur's Gate 3, mostly Durgetash but about my various Tav and Durge characters in general. I may post about my DnD character(s) in the future
Most of what I post is "small content" (headcanons, dialogue snippets, random thoughts, etc). On occasion I post longer content, whether it be fanfic snippets, character dives, or whatever else
Occasionally I post content about my personal life, either interactions I have with people or, rarely, about my DID
At the end of this post is a link to each of my BG3 characters. Not all of them have posts, I'm working on them
My messages and ask box are always open. Feel free to ask about my characters and stories, I love talking about them. Please keep my ask box related to my posts
On the note of my characters, feel free to write about or draw my characters if you're inspired to. Just tag me in posts about them so I can see :)
Respect my privacy, I don't share much about myself on public platforms. To those who know me in personal life, please let me maintain online anonymity

Update I'm writing it down. I cannot stop thinking about it and if I don't write it down I may explode
It's also a Durgetash focused fic because this ship has taken me in a chokehold more than any ship ever previously has
Oh no this isn't writer's block, I have an entire detailed alternate ending story with detailed dialogue and plot points that have been edited into being cohesive. However this is my bedtime story in which I mentally act it out until I inevitably fall asleep, acting as though I'm falling asleep in my MC's love interest's arms. I exclusively think of this story between the hours of midnight and 4am
Another thing about Yurena's horns decorations/jewelry, since it's all from Gortash. For a long time she just had the two rings, then eventually a chain around one of them too. But in the current day she also has little studs in her horns, which are also from Gortash, naturally. It took a long time for Gortash to even suggest such a thing, and even longer for Yurena to agree to it, because I imagine tiefling horns are like goat horns and therefore have nerves and shit (read; putting something like those studs in would hurt). And like Yurena has no problems with pain, both having a high pain tolerance and generally not finding pain as a bad feeling, but to trust someone to potentially hurt her like that? It took a while, not to mention Gortash insisted on spending plenty of time so close to make sure each stud was perfectly placed, perfectly symmetrical
Gortash: I'm not hurting you, am I?
Yurena: You'd be bleeding by now if I cared
Gortash: I didn't ask if you care, just if it hurts
Yurena: I'm not the first tiefling you've met
Gortash: You're the first one whose horns I've touched. It's never come up before
Yurena: If you must know, fine. Yes, there's pain each time the jewelry is put in. Be careful closer to the base of them if you care about it so much
Gortash was in fact extremely careful. At the end of it all, Yurena has more horn decorations to treasure and Gortash is left admiring his art - and Yurena
Nothing is more fun than revisiting characters and stories from a while ago. Even if it's only been a few months since my last update to the stories, writing and sharing that writing with my friends is awesome
Also I love coming up with entirely new parts of the world, fleshing out the universes I made by giving them unrelated moving parts to other stories happening. Maybe characters from the A focus will someday meet the ones from the B or C focus. Maybe there's a single character tying them all together. It's so fun especially when other people are influencing the story
This post is just a segue into potentially sharing excerpts from my writing here, though I'm not sure how well the excerpts will work without the 7 years of lore explained as context lmao
Father has commanded it is my turn to play Undertale
4am thoughts, I love Pokémon ship names. Like okay you can have your AfterDeath and your Chiluc (I'm in both fandoms too) but my absolute favorite is called AppraisalShipping. Wdym there's one called GreatGatsbyShipping. I love telling ppl these names
My biggest head canon for my Durge and Gortash is that Gortash was the one that decorated her horns. Yurena wears chains and rings and stuff on her horns and I fully believe Gortash started that with the rings, he probably was given some silver rings but he likes gold so he just.. put them on Yurena's horns. Something like this;
Gortash: I have no need for these, and silver would look good on you. Would you like them?
Yurena: Your fingers are much larger than mine
Gortash: Ah, right. Hm. Here, I have an idea *puts a ring on each of her horns* see? They look lovely like that
Yurena:
Yurena: Do you have more

Oh how do I know I have a really bad hyperfixation character? My coworker got me a sticker of him. And when she gave me the sticker I did a little stompy feet stim and immediately felt pain in my bad leg but that's fine, I have a Gortash sticker now. Look at him, look at how cute he is
I need 20 more
"You're supposed to be dead" was all that came out, but there were many more thoughts racing through Durge's head
How was he alive? How long had he been alive? And, oh no, why did he almost feel relieved.
Gortash was decomposed, nothing like his usual self as he rushed to explain. Durge stood still, arms crossed as he stared at Gortash
In truth, the words weren't processing in their mind. They were too preoccupied by the internal conflict, knowing this man was a threat but being glad his death had only been temporary
At some point Gortash stopped talking. Durge said nothing, they couldn't when none of the explanation had stuck
The two stared at each other, unspoken emotions dancing behind each of their eyes
"Durge?"
Finally, Durge spoke again, tone light; "I'm glad I can kill you myself"
Imagine this:
Gortash is back, no one knows just yet, with the the exception of withers.
Withers thinks it's best for gortash lays low for a while.
The companions have no clue about his resurrection.
Gortash is aware that he is now an enemy of the people in baldur's gate.
Going back there isn't an option right now.
He is at the wilderness campsite, that's where he stays.
Every now and then, the companions would visit withers, gortash must remain unseen at all cost.
So he hides, until they leave.
Eventually, it all gets a little tiresome for gortash.
Wondering when he'll be able to get out of hiding.
This time, durge pays a visit to withers.
Gortash hesitates, he hadn't seen durge since their confrontation with the elder brain.
Realisation hits him, he must hide, quickly.
With a quick sigh of relief, gortash wonders, if durge would be glad to see him. Maybe not.
Durge has changed, no reason to be around a miserable failure like himself.
Durge has moved on, with no memories of their times together.
To durge, he is the past. The forgotten past.
Gortash's thoughts were cut off when he heard the sound of someone clearing their throat.
Lo and behold, standing there, in his hiding place, was none other than the one he was thinking about.
Durge saw him.
Durge knows nows.
He should be disappointed he failed withers.
But he's happy, happy to be seen by his durge.
"You're supposed to be dead" were the words durge spoke.
Time to explain everything.
